If I have sugar
before bed
I don’t sleep well
true for people
who drink at night
but this one isn’t a lecture
So I swore it off
asked the Universe
I want to dream
I want to remember
my dreams
so I can learn from them
I want to contribute
to the world
I muse
In a bigger way
I long
but the problem is I don’t know how
So I ask
no actually
I beg
for guidance
for a roadmap a compass
and instructions come in my dreams
With the request submitted
The demand is answered
I struggle
in the morning
What the heck?
Not another dream about travel
The car is gone (again)
usually in my dreams
I am driving
without a map
but this time
no vehicle?
I giggle over the reminder
I’m not in the driver’s seat
I know this
but the busybody in me
struggles with
Living in the Mystery
I call it
Surrender and
ask the Universe for
clearer instructions
how can I serve
Show me the way
I dream that night to paint
a lanternfish
oh wait, it isn’t that
It’s an anglerfish
The one with the light
guiding her way
the light hanging from
the top of her head
Guiding her in the deepest
darkest depths
of the sea
the one in my dreams, a little cuter than reality
but still not that cute
Taught by Youngest the
females are much much bigger
than the males
but no reverse chauvinism here
this one isn’t that lecture either
The female can grow to
five feet
while the men
only as big as flies
just sayin’
But again, not the place for pointing fingers
I’m supposed to paint that?
This wannabe artist questions
the dream
the interpretation
Paint it if you choose
but that isn’t the insight
The insight is
Follow Your Light
the Light will guide you
In the deepest
darkest depths of your journey
The light is the way
so I do my best
to shine it
wherever I go
in my coaching sessions
My training sessions
for my family and tea with a friend
At my guilty pleasure
Jersey Mikes
to the cashier
and consciously to anyone
else that day
wherever whenever
When you know your job
is to shine your light
you go about your
day differently
But this isn’t just my job
this is our job
So shine brightly
Wherever you go
for your lover
your friend your children
a stranger the cashier
it is infectious and contagious
in a good way
though
and those in our lives
will shine their’s too
in a good way
like you like us
And the next time you dream
Don’t just chalk it up to
weird
look for the hidden meanings
We have them for a reason
Now wake up and find yours
